Schematic overview of the study workflow. a Healthy individuals (n = 73) and COPD patients (n = 99) were recruited for the study. Stool samples were subjected to 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) profiling. b Fecal microbiota from healthy individuals and from COPD patients were pooled and inoculated into mice by fecal microbiome transplantation for inflammatory phenotyping. c During the biomass fuel exposure, the fecal microbiota transplantation was performed
